Now, I just have to say, I have a horrible spelling handicap - I can truly forgive spelling errors - cakes don't come with spell-check after all...lol But inventing completely new words is not a spelling error (though I have come very close myself - with words spell check doesn't even recognize!...lol) And why are the clouds on that cake blue? And, prior to printing, does no one actually read what the instructions are for the piping? I mean...do they just see letters, so assume they are to be part of the decorations?...lol I love this site...cracks me up ever time. :P

You've finally done it. Cake wrecks has been mean spirited before, but this takes the cake. Imagine how proud the Bonner family is of little Congratution. Probably the first in their family to achieve this mile stone. It's a beautiful cake for the Bonner celebration.

Of course, after making fun of Debbie's love of cats, we can expect this type of thing.

mmm Nathan Fillion. MMMM Johnny Depp. Mmmmm. Cake. And yeah, all I heard was Woody from Toy Story saying "REACH FOR THE SKY!" Hmmm, I had a crush on Tom Hanks as a kid. And so that rounds out this entry of yumminess. Hanks, Fillion, Depp, Cake, Woody. Sounds dirty. I like.

Before I even read your commentary, I could hear Woody saying "Reach for the sky!" as I saw that cake. Mostly because my 4 year old is on a crazy Toy Story kick right now and 1 of the 3 movies are on our TV at any given time and she is even known to be saying "Reach for the Sky!" around the house randomly.

Just wanted to share something funny with you. Monday was my daughter's birthday. My father-in-law was going to get her a small cake. They didn't have small cakes so he got cupcakes (all glued together in a rectangle...why they were glued together, I know not). He asked them to write her name on them. They said they couldn't because....get this...the cupcake icing would cause the writing icing melt/disintegrate. Riiiight, that's what I want my kid eating. Nothing like toxic sweets!

I like that there are whistle blowers in the cake decor industry. If I was involved in a similar debate over semantics and/or taste and lost out to the knucklehead party, I'd have to say something, too. I got the Woody line right away, but the fact that you are in contact with "the industry" is hilarious.

As for the second cake, maybe it was made for David Banner from The Incredible Hulk, although the message is rather confusing. Are they congratulating him on getting arrested by the sheriff? Maybe it's a sarcastic message, and they "forgot" the quotation marks. At least being arrested via cake means, well, there's cake.

You've started my morning off with sexy thoughts of Johnny Depp. Which is really no different from any other morning for the last 6 years, but thank you for mixing some plastic cowboy and 'Woody' into it ;)

Maybe you should publish that any wreckerator who puts "Nathan Fillion" or "Johnny Depp" on a cake gets a free pass- no matter what goes wrong! Wouldn't it be hysterical to see how many cakes would end up with random pics of them or even just their names?? LMAO

Those "Reach for the sky" cakes are actually a kit and that's what the banner says in the demo picture. But I thought the same thing when I first saw it, "Isn't that what old time gangsters used to say when robbing a bank?"

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
